sigh. if only the toys could look like these renders. whether it's this game or the tf movies, the renders ALWAYS look awesome. i don't see myself buying a game just to have access to different characters though. if it ain't this gimmick, it's gonna be more later. better off waiting.... read more

It really is TOO BAD that they didn't make the movie TFs look like this. I would have been all over the movie and figures then.

I would rather have a real figure for preorder. Everyone will be able to download these at some point.

It appears that more stores will be getting exclusives. If you mouse over the pre-order section down at the bottom of the page you will get a pic of Shockwave and Wheeljack, so some place is getting wheeljack also. Heard rumors of a Grimlock as well!

That can work. I can Preorder the Autobot Game on Amazon and Decepticon at Gamestop, or the other way around. Or maybe someone can give the codes to TFormers to post so we can save $30-$50 or $80 if your getting both (I am!).

I'm more excited for Demolisher than Shockwave. Always liked him and hoped he would get worked into G1 (aside from SG) and now he is in some way.

For a second there, when I read pre-order exclusive, I thought it was going to be a toy..... phew!! Shockwave looks so bad ass.

This week on Radio Free Cybertron we have the rundown from Toy Fair 2014, onsite interviews with Activision and Hasbro at Toy Fair 2014, this week in History, the week's news, comic news from Aimee and the entire 23 minute presentation from Hasbro at Toy Fair 2014.

Activision Publishing, Inc. and Hasbro today released two new video game bundles that are more than meets the eye: TRANSFORMERS: ULTIMATE BATTLE EDITION for Nintendo’s Wii system and TRANSFORMERS: ULTIMATE AUTOBOTS EDITION for the Nintendo DS™ hand-held system. Both titles combine two full games from the epic, galactic saga between the AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS into one package loaded with adventure and value for this holiday season.

So, it seems lately that there's always something I don't like about Optimus prime figures and their paintjobs. Last time it was PRID OPtimus that I had to do something about, and since I've just got my Corbot V war axe in, I decided to finally tackle WFC Optimus. Check out the full makeover list after the jump

For those who are worried that they if they jump into Transformers War for Cybertron multiplayer now will be extremely far behind, have no fear: the multiplayer XP will now multiply by five starting on Monday until forever. This change is in effect for Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony Playstation 3, and PC versions only. So if you have been looking to max out all of your classes but have been too lazy to do it with only a 1 to 1 ratio for points, how about 5 to 1?
